The trouble with tribbles.
I forsee crayfish farms in the future.......
Order up a case each of Miami Heat and cajun seasoning, andouille, corn, garlic, onions, taters, lemons and whatever else, put the boil on to boil and sent out for a wholw bunch o beer

That’s a sight better than eating bugs like some lefty Hollywood types would have us do. Warning, kinda creepy:

Other than they don’t need a mate, how are these crawfish more invasive than any other type of crawfish?
Strikes me as a Southern crayfish farmer’s dream. They look nice size too.
Are they big enough and tasty enough for Cajun food?
They’re exceedingly edible ... what’s the problem?
I seem to recall from several years ago that there was a similar arthropod “crisis” brewing. Apparently, huge Red Crabs were overrunning the other cold-water crab species up in the arctic, and proliferating out of control.
And while the eco-greenies were tearing their hair out, the reaction from anyone with a sense of pragmatism was “bring on the clarified butter”. Yes, it’s important to try to prevent entire species from being wiped out, especially when it’s something that can be attributed to human interference. But the world isn’t static. Just ask the trilobites, or the residents of Doggerland.
They are not terrestrial. They aliens here to conquer!
(Cue Georgi Tsoukalos - the “It’s Aliens” guy).
This probably happened due to the legalization of gay marriage.
Cows multiplying in this fashion would bring down the cost of beef.
I, for one, welcome our new crayfish overlords...
Craynado!!!
